Abhinav Bindra:Beijing and Beyond: we are now welcomed....officially!!!!!!!

Thursday, August 7, 2008

we are now welcomed....officially!!!!!!!

Thursday, August 7, 2008 – 7:10 PM

So yesterday was the welcoming ceremony where they officially raise the flag in front of your building and play the national anthem... it is really an emotional moment especially for us athletes who have early events and never attend the opening ceremony.
so for us in some way this was the small and intimate "cutting of the ribbon" and makes you feel proud that you are representing an entity so much larger than self.
Today is my day off and so i am going to spend some time soaking in the village and actually getting my mind to do something it has never done before.... NOT THINK ABOUT SHOOTING!!!
So instead of thinking about shooting perfect bulls eyes... today i am going to think of the pretty women in the village, the weather, the great city of beijing and whatever else pops into my mind will be allowed to stay as long it doesn't involve the words "rifle", "shooting" in it.... hey all it is a great time to be an athlete and this event is what we all live for.....

You rocked in your interaction with the press immediately after you struck gold ... some plain & candid talking !! The part about having to take a leak was just hilarious :-)

God speed & best of luck, you have opened the floodgates to an entire generation that can see beyond Cricket ... thanks !!; August 11, 2008 at 8:07 AM

Jayesh said...: Abhinav,

Great showing! You have made all of India really proud. Including the NRI's like me in USA.

I hope you are not flying back directly to India and hope you stay on and encourage the rest of the Indian participants. I am sure they will be inspired by you as rest of India is. Can you share some of your interactions with the other Indian athletes. And if you did actually give them a motivational speech?!

Thanks,

thanthonni said...: namaste abhinav... we bowe to you. there was just 10 metres between history and yourself and in one shot you cleared the distance. and for the long starving indian sports fans it was manna dropping from heavens.this is clearly the defining moment of indian sports. i was moved to tears on hearing the news and so would be millions of my compatriots. what milka missed in rome and what evaded p.t. usha in los angeles was this fleeting moment of history. but this time it could not escape, as your shot hit it on head and crystallised it as a gold spot of Time.What the world cup win of 1983 did to indian cricket this should do to our entire sports events as this is a greater achievement. i still remember how as a schoolboy i listened to the radio commentary of 1980 olympic hockey final and rejoiced the moment when v.bhaskaran and his boys struck gold. this calls for greater rejoicing as it is the only individual gold in the 108 year old history of olympics. the victory ceremony at beijing was also your anointment ceremony. from hereon indian sports has only one king .Abhinav Bindra is king and long live the king... and may many crown princes follow.but for the moment..
